Your guide to when N.E. Olympians compete

Posted by Ted McEnroe August 7, 2008 at 4:20 pm

Alright, I decided that just listing the teams didn’t go far enough. Here, to the best that I can tell, is when our New England friends will be competing in the Beijing Olympics. We’ll do everything possible to post results here. Two notes: First, don’t use this as a Bible. The timetables for Beijing aren’t all that clear with little things like am and pm, and with beijing being 12 hours ahead of us, I may have typos here and there.

I also left off info on, for example, every race and repechage in the rowing, and every race in the sailing series. In most cases, it’s when people could win a medal.

Second, this does not correspond to when things will be on TV. NBC has a zillion hours of coverage, and maybe they’ll televise some of these things live, and maybe they won’t. That’s up to them.

But we’ll keep you up-to-date on the local folks who are competing as best we can - and as I said before, if anyone is missing, just holler and I’ll add them.
